A family run pub has stood on this site since at least 1863, the present building dates from 1938. The building was renovated in 2005 to give a modern, relaxed feel to the interior while maintaining its homely and traditional atmosphere. The only public house on the Beverly Brook (a minor urban river) walk, and just a short distance from rugby's Rosslyn Park. Recently renovated in keeping with the pub's traditional appearance and atmosphere. Now under new ownership. The Stags Head has been recently reopened (2023) after receiving an extensive refurbishment with new furniture, fixtures and fittings. New HD TV screens installed, all with Sky and BT Sports. The pub's current name replaced the previous one 'Halfway House' in 2017.
